When our Harry smiled at us for the first time we knew anything else that came our way we could cope with. We had a connection with our child, a reciprocated smile and a shared love. That was a huge milestone and one which shaped our journey with Harry ever since.
We want to make sure his beautiful smile stays with him by making his life as easy and comfortable as possible. By making sure he has all the equipment and therapy he needs to support his continuing progress.
Harry, now 4 years old, was born with a rare chromosomal abnormality and profound hearing loss. This has resulted in Harry having complex learning difficulties, global developmental delay, sensory processing disorder, visual impairment and physical disabilities. Harry underwent surgery when he was 16 months old and now wears bilateral cochlear implants.
We are in the process of having assessments for adaptations to be done to our home to make it fully accessible to Harry. This will hopefully include hoists, wheelchair access to the front of the house and the rear garden. Harry will need a wet room which will include a specialist sink and shower unit. The downstairs doorways need to be widened and the garage converted into a downstairs bedroom and sensory area. We will receive a grant for the building work but the equipment he will need will likely exceed this amount.
The hardest thing for a parent of a disabled child is what will happen when we are no longer here to speak for him.
Please help us to raise funds for Harry to support him with ongoing equipment and therapy that he will need throughout his life. Let's keep our Harry smiling xx
